0.32 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped pink sapphire begins its story deep within the island soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where centuries of gem mining have produced stones prized by connoisseurs and royal courts alike. This particular gem weighs 0.32 carat, and measures 5.04 x 3.69 x 2.31 mm, a delicate size that speaks to both intimacy and precision. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the facets have been designed to maximize sparkle and scintillation while honoring the stone s natural form. Transparent and possessing a faint color intensity, this sapphire displays a soft pink that reads as romantic and restrained, a color that changes with light and angle, inviting the viewer to lean closer and discover its subtlety. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means you see a clean field and only gentle internal signatures that confirm the gem s natural origin. Polished to an excellent finish, and offered with no enhancement, this Ceylon pink sapphire arrives as nature intended, free of heat treatment or modification, a trait that adds rarity and reassurance for collectors and those seeking a truly natural gem.

The provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes more than a line on a certificate, it adds a layer of story and value that endures. Sapphires from Sri Lanka are famed for their clarity and for producing some of the most elegant pastel pinks in the world of corundum. The island s alluvial deposits and ancient metamorphic environments yield stones with a particular type of light and warmth, a signature that gem lovers can sense even before measurements are taken. Historically these gems were gathered by generations of small scale miners, who worked riverbeds and secondary deposits with hands and simple tools, and who passed along techniques for recognizing stones destined to become fine gems. When you choose a Ceylon sapphire you are connecting to this lineage, to a place where geology and human craft have intersected for centuries, and that connection is reflected in the market as higher desirability and enduring value.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we believe the story behind a gem is as important as its physical attributes, and we present this 0.32 carat pear pink sapphire with full respect for its origin and properties. The mixed brilliant cut brings exceptional light return to such a petite stone, and the excellent polish ensures each facet reflects and refracts light rather than allowing it to stray. The clarity description very very slightly included evaluated at eye level assures you of a gem that reads clean to the eye while retaining minute natural features that confirm authenticity. No enhancement means the stone s color and character are those formed under natural geological conditions, and for many buyers unheated stones command a premium and are treasured for their purity. For those looking to create a contrasting or complementary setting we often propose pairing a pink sapphire with a White Opal, a playfully luminous opal type that offers a milky white body and occasional flashes of spectral color. The cool, opalescent sheen of a White Opal against the warm whisper of Ceylon pink creates a pairing that is both romantic and sophisticated.

This sapphire is ideally suited for an intimate solitaire pendant, a delicate three stone ring, or as the centerpiece of a bespoke design that pairs it with White Opal accents or fine diamond melee. Sapphires are durable and suitable for everyday wear, yet this stone s modest 0.32 carat weight and refined pear shape invite a setting that celebrates subtlety rather than dominance. When you commission a piece from The Natural Sapphire Company you receive not only the gem, but also a commitment to ethical sourcing, full disclosure of origin and treatments, and access to our experienced design and mounting teams who will ensure the stone is set to showcase its mixed brilliant facets and faint pink glow. Caring for this sapphire is straightforward, using gentle warm soapy water and a soft brush for routine cleaning, and professional checks for prong security if set in a ring.
